Caring for Lemon and Orange Citrus Trees

Caring for Lemon and Orange Citrus Trees

FeedingFeed every week from Spring to the beginning of Autumn. In Winter only feed once a month. Feed some tomato fertilizer occasionally to encourage more blossom. We also now have a special Citrus fertiliser if you wish to use that.

PollinationIf your tree is always indoors the flowers will require pollination. In the absence of flies or bees you should do this regularly when the plants are in flower by using a small child's art brush to dust the pollen from flower to flower.

PestsWatch for greenfly or scale insect and use an organic insecticide if necessary. Enjoy the fragrance of the flowers!
